	<h2>General news</h2>
	<p>
		Today started well.
		I woke up in one of my moods in which I think being me for the rest of my life is going to be fun.
		I wasn&apos;t sure exactly who I woke up as, but it became clear fairly quickly.
		In the shower, I had no body dysphoria, and I was singing Shyguy music (some combination of Doctor Who Am I? and One White Lie 3), so I must be Xander today.
		Dressing in stripes and my lanyard instead of a floral print and a necklace seemed to reinforce this.
		I was kind of hoping to be Lexi today because I was feeling so well.
		It&apos;d mean that Lexi is doing better.
		Being Xander made getting some coursework done easier, though he&apos;s not immune to distraction, and spent much of the the day with research on how to make her feel better.
		I&apos;m going to have to get Lexi some nicer clothes, especially shirts.
		She makes do with some floral prints, but they&apos;re not the most feminine prints, and I&apos;d argue they&apos;re somewhat masculine.
		Some hats for Lexi would be nice as well.
		I looked into tucking as well, and so far, my experiments with it have been great.
		It even makes biking more comfortable.
		Thankfully, I&apos;m not particularly well-endowed, so it&apos;s not overly difficult.
		My guess is that this is due to my low testosterone levels.
		I&apos;ll need to look into wearable chest augmentation garments too, and especially vocal exercises.
	</p>
	<p>
		I just learned that <a href="https://www.dmv.com/blog/oregon-becomes-first-state-to-allow-third-gender-option-on-drivers-license-28193-523692">in Oregon, one&apos;s $a[ID] need not specify a sex</a>.
		Last month, the month after my name change was finalised, the Oregon $a[DMV] added a third option to their sex category: &quot;X&quot;.
		It looks like switching to either of the binary sexes still requires proof of your sex change from a doctor or something, but choosing &quot;other&quot; on the application is all that&apos;s needed for them to accept that.
		The decision to allow this third category came after an Oregonian went to court and had their sex legally changed to non-binary.
		However, I won&apos;t need a court order to make this change on my own $a[ID].
	</p>
	<p>
		I had a strong urge to go in today and get my $a[ID] corrected.
		However, I think that would&apos;ve been unwise.
		I can&apos;t simply jump on urges; I need to take the proper time to think about the decision.
		One thing is very clear though: I can&apos;t seek a new job until I either have my new $a[ID] in hand or I decide against changing it.
		At my new workplace, I want to be known as me.
		I&apos;m pretty sure I want this though.
		My feminine side doesn&apos;t want to be labelled as male, even though she is.
		(She&apos;s of the feminine gender, but the male sex, seeing as she&apos;s me and I&apos;m physically male.
		Gender is complex, but sex is about what&apos;s in your pants alone.)
		My masculine side doesn&apos;t mind being listed as &quot;other&quot;, as long as he&apos;s not listed as female.
		Really, I think this&apos;ll boost Lexi&apos;s confidence without causing any harm to Xander.
		And of course, boosting Lexi&apos;s confidence is itself a <strong>*help*</strong> to Xander.
		Xander won&apos;t be dealing with as many cases of Lexi freaking out, wearing me out, then reverting to Xander and leaving <strong>*him*</strong> to deal with the emotional exhaustion.
		It&apos;d be nice to have my new $a[ID] in time for the festival though, so I might make the decision in a bit more of a rush than I normally would. I might get it changed as early as Wednesday.
		I guess that&apos;s only two days away.
		I think though that if Lexi feels less like a man, she&apos;ll feel less trapped and be happier with her body as it is.
		In the back of my head, Lexi kept nagging me to get the $a[ID] update done today.
	</p>
	<p>
		It&apos;s worth noting though that while I very likely will make use of this option, I feel it&apos;s ... not quite as it should be.
		The marker on one&apos;s $a[DMV] doesn&apos;t indicate their gender; it indicates their <strong>*sex*</strong>.
		If the marker were labeled as &quot;gender&quot; instead of &quot;sex&quot;, allowing an &quot;other&quot; would make a lot more sense.
		I guess though, the &quot;X&quot; just means that the sex isn&apos;t listed on the $a[ID].
		Still, the mere fact that I changed my legal name to an androgynous one indicates that I don&apos;t feel fully masculine of fully feminine.
		I also spent a lot of time coming to that conclusion, so it isn&apos;t like I haven&apos;t thought about this.
		In all honesty, it&apos;s none of anyone&apos;s business what&apos;s in my pants, so this is still a good option.
		That said, even if I can get good at feminising my appearance when I want to, I&apos;m pretty sure my voice will be a dead giveaway.
	</p>
	<p>
		As Lexi, I sort of shaved my chest yesterday to see what it&apos;d look like.
		Bad idea.
		Now my stubble&apos;s super itchy under my shirt.
		There&apos;s got to be a better method of hair removal.
	</p>
	<p>
		My <a href="/a/canary.txt">canary</a> still sings the tune of freedom and transparency.
